What have we done to deserve a Knot Dude upload? So happy to see a new video!
“The back side’s where it’s at” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 glad to have you back 💕
I'm sorry but your name has me in tears. 😭💀🖤I love it lol.
Nice to see ya! 😁 I propagate Hoya the exact same way, but with perlite! I like how you don’t have to stress about removing all the perlite when potting the cutting into soil. I’m grow all my plants in soil so I have to try your method just going straight in!
So happy to see you back Adam! Hope you will upload more videos. You are my go to person when it comes to Hoya!
Yay!!!! So happy to see another video! 🙌
Love the prop method. Glad you’ve been able to get the mites under control and glad you’re posting videos! Been patiently waiting like 👀👀 lol
Red mites are the worst. Or that is what most people call them 😂 But we all mean the same - small, orange/ red, incredibly hard to spot, and they attack new growth. And the dark/ light test works too! Also you can use damp cotton pad and wipe the bottom and tops of the leaves (typically towards the new growth) and you will see them on the white cotton pad. They are tough to kill but what works for me and all the collectors from Sweden (where I got this tip from) is to use sulphur based fungicide (that also works as acaricide). The one I use is called Kumulus. Usually one treatment kills them, but I do it twice. It leaves white deposit on the leaves that you can always see on my hoyas 😂 but I don't care, it kills the bastards. There is a more insidious type of mite that burrows in the tissue of the new growth and that one is basically a death sentence. The Swedish collectors call those top shoot mite, but I am having a hard time pinpointing which exact mite it is 🤔
I rarely ever see them on leaves. Just the stem and around new leaves on the petiole. I'm going to look into the fungicide because honestly they need to DIEEEEEEEEEEEE
@@KnotDude they will mostly go for the cute baby leaves 🥲 Burn them with fire 😂 PS I don't use drainage holes when I propagate hoyas pls don't disown me 😂
@@BasiePlants you know what you're doing and can manage the no drainage :) I don't trust myself 😂
When insects get crazy I put a plant into a larger plastic bag lightly spray garden insect spray into it, tie it up and leave for 2 days or more then repeat in 10 to 20 days. Works like a charm.
Perfect timing! I just got my first hoyas yesterday. A fully rooted compacta carnosa, and linearis cuttings! I put the linearis right in soil like you suggested. Thanks adam!
Yay!!! Excited to watch!
Glad to see you back. Always enjoyable 😉.
Hey! Happy to see you! I am so glad your plants seem to be rid of the pest! Hopefully they continue to improve! I can't wait to see your travel vlog ❤️
Perlite has never failed me!
The Hoya king returns!!!! What an awesome and super informative video, Adam. Hope to see another one soon. Maybe full plant room tour update!?😊🤞🏼 but if not, I’ll catch you on potted together 😘
I just found your channel last night! Love it! Let the binging continue 🪴🪴🪴
Missed you! Love your Hoya content :)
Nice to see you again. I had no idea hoyas could be propagated without a node! Whoa!
You literally made my day at the 1/2 way point. Came across his video and suddenly you were saying your goodbyes and I thought... Wait what, we're barely 50% in. And then you start with the shot of tequila and the words start coming!!! Just subscribe to your channel, can't wait for more
Yay! Just the video I needed to see today. I've yet to prop any of my hoyas out of irrational fear. This gives me some courage to try!
It works really well! Hope you get the urge to give it a try!
Ahhhh my favorite bourbon ❤️ AND one of my favorite plants people. Good yo see you back!
So good to see a great video. Missed your advice.
The Silver Dollar is so pretty😍 Still looking for a Varigated Obavota like yours. lol 2 yrs later. 😀 I don’t think it’s the mites your talking about, but have found tiny mites, I think is coming from the orchid bark. Your new channel sounds like fun, traveling an exploring. 😀💚
I also found that orchid bark that I purchased had alot of tiny mites😖
Put your bark in the oven at 350 degrees for thirty minutes to kill anything that might be living in the bark. Let cool before using it for your plants. Hope this can help others.
Yay 😍😍😍 I love Hoyas !
Love love love your vids ADAM!
not me literally finding your channel a week ago right before you posted the botanical garden tour (on the same day i went to a botanical garden in san diego what!!) and now you’re back love that for us!!!!!
The universe has made it so. I went to the SD botanical garden in July and I need to edit the footage. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!
Best propagation video I have watch!
Great info! Thank you. Appreciate you!
Nice seeing you again Adam. Enjoyed this.
Love your tips
Yay!!! A video from Adam!!
The only Hoya I’ve cut was my Hoya Bella. It is in soil and I cut it and just stuck it back into the mother plant and so far it’s growing. Really enjoy your video and your updates🤗
I am a new hoya own. Long time fan but I gave in. They all 3 are small cutting so this is long distance advice. But.... the soldering iron tip is magic I will be trying that out. I had been useing a lighter and a screwdriver. I have a soldering iron so will give it a go. I like to use odd pots for my outdoor plants and it's a huge pain with a lighter. Thank you so much
So excited to get that notification 🎉 You’ve been missed.
Nice to see you again 👏👏👏
I do Hoya the same way as you do. I totally love Hoya and wish I had nurseries in my area that carried Hoya but I don’t so I have to either find at big box or a person selling some in area. I’ve got 14 different ones so far and will keep hunting more. Hoyas are awesome plants.
I have alot of Hoyas in moss as well as other plants but I've just gotten back into leca and just tried perlite. So I gave everything a try besides water propping because that method just isn't for me at all.
But aside from plants that nail polish color is cute af! Thank you for the hair pins tip I'm definitely gonn grab some.
OMG... so happy to see you back. Those glasses are hilarious. I'm now going to check my Krimson Queen again it seemed to have stopped growing in the last month or so. I'm all for watching your travel channel.
Hoping your queen is just being fussy and no mites are there!
Firstly, love that nail color. Second, I got the same hole tool thingy and now all of my planters look like Swiss cheese. 😂
Hahaha it's a fun tool!
Good video Adam, thank you, glad you are well ☺️
Exactly what I was looking for w my Hoyas. Thanks. SUBSCRIBED 🌱❤🌱
Thank you! 🥰
Thank you Adam, I might just try to do it your way 🌺💚🙃
I love 💕 the propagation method you have maybe I will do that on mine too when I’m ready to propagate mine thanks for a very informative vedio ❤️
I’m going to try your method!🤓🌱
Welcome back king ❤️
🥰🥰
Thanks for sharing about the mites! I’ve had some unidentified pests that I couldn’t figure out that I suspect were mites, also. A few applications of a water, alcohol, and dish detergent mix seemed to deter them pretty well. Hope your Hoya are on the road to recovery!
James! Those mites are the worst. I did add some castille soap to my mix but it made all my leca turn white so I stopped that 😬
Knot Dude The LECA turned white?? That’s wild! I forget about that soap, it’s basically good for just about anything!
I am a soil person. I consider trying leca, but haven't done it yet (something new to learn and I know what I'm doing with my substrates). But I have bought several hoya starts from local peeps that were rooted in leca. I leave them in leca while they acclimate to my home. When they are ready for up-potting, I just move it all into my chunky soil mix, leaving the leca the roots are attached to. I think people over-think the transition to soil from leca. Just don't disturb those baby roots. Make a basket with fingers, lift it all up en masse, and put it in your preferred substrate. Hasn't failed me yet.
I HAVE BEEN KINDA LOOKING AT SILVER DOLLAR ON LINE BUT SEEING YOURS ,I NEED ONE NOW ,THEY REALLY ARE A BEAUTIFUL PLANT VERY CLEAN LINED AND THE SILVER NICE !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the soldering gun tip. I missed you. 🐞
It's a game changer!
A friend introduced me to the commercial miticides Tetrasan and Minx2. They are made by the same company and you can buy small sizes of it on eBay. The tetrasan targets the eggs and the Minx2 targets adults. I had a bad case of false mites in my cabinet and had treated every plant multiple times, but the combo eradicated them on the first application. I hope that helps!
Oh thank you! I may have to try it as they are back again, but all my plants are out in the open...we shall see. Appreciate the tip!
Great to see you again! So annoying and disheartening for you to have to deal with these pests! It feels so overwhelming when you have that many plants! I definitely will be checking out your new channel!
Could it be russet mites? I got those before and it sounds similar
What a beautiful hoya.
One of my faves is using my Aerogarden, it worked so well that I purchased three in total.
Hooray!!! I was so excited to see a video from you. I hollered to my husband, "Hey! My guy is back! ❤ I haven't seen him all by himself in a video in forever!!" He was like, "Okaaaaaaayyyyy....... 🙄" 🤭
Well please let your hubby know he doesn't have to worry about me being your guy 💅🏼💅🏼😅🤣
@@KnotDude 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Literally. Snorted. Seriously....I need a tissue
Nice to see you again🌺💚🙃
Also, excited for the second channel! Woohoo!!!
So glad to see you posting a new vid! I've been struggling with those orange mites as well and they suck. Have used Captain Jacks, Bayer Advanced Insect, Disease and Mites and now your alcohol/water spray. It's gotten better with every treatment but man do I want those little suckers gone! LOL Video ideas: I would love to see an update on your plants, perhaps compare with the haul video? So happy to have you back!
You're in luck because the video I just posted today was an update on an old unboxing! Great minds think alike!!
When you spray with alcohol do you leave it on the plant or rinse it off?
Good to see you! A second channel…… 😊 sounds like fun! 😉
Thank you for the video!!! I had the same experience with those mites. It was on my triostar, same scenario with me using my flash flight on my phone to inspect my trio star to see why she had browning leaves, saw the orange mite, and then it’s like they vanished and couldn’t see them. I used end all from safers mixed with water. I will usually water with hydrogen peroxide and water as a preventative measure.
Where you able to rid of them?
Hi, great video I learned a lot.
What size prop box from Target in the video was used.
Welcome back
It sounds like we’ve been tackling the exact same orange mite problem at the same time 😓 I’ve found them on three Hoya and like six sansevieria, ugh! Thanks for the tips, the first treatment didn’t do much but the second one I tried has helped a lot 🤞🏻
I had a similar thing and I could never find any information on it and thought it may have been a weird Aussie bug. I could tell something was weird when I saw orange spots on paper towel when I wiped down leaves. Thanks for sharing.
🙂
Thanks for the info on the Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), good to know, just to be ready.

I could be wrong but I think what you have is false spider mites. They appear reddish orange and they don’t make webs. They are crazy small so seeing them is nearly impossible. They sometimes leave trails on the leaves that look like a wrinkly indentation. They tend to go for the sweet spots right we’re leaves connect too. And they love new growth! I’ve used AzaMax with success. It saved my elliptica.
I've been debating on getting Azamax but the alcohol mix has been working so far! I hate them
HEYYYY you are the first person who I’ve seen use the same lil Bobby pins that I use! 😅 I don’t notice rust or anything weird after a long time in the soil, I also feel like they’re more sturdy due to the zigzag on the sides. Lol
Hey, Adam! Great to hear from you! Thanks for the video. I just wanted to pass on some info about a method for spider mite eradication from miss orchid girl. She has videos (several- gotta find the right one) on the subject. Granted, it’s for spider mites on orchids but I wonder if it may work for your nondescript mites on hoyas or other plants. She actually has 2 methods that both work on the same principle: smother the bastards. One is a mineral/paraffin oil based mixture and one is plain old leaf shine in a can. I’ve had instant success with my orchids (flat leafed phals) and some success with hoyas and other plants. With the others, I have to be more diligent about application since there are more leaves that are not flat expanses like the Phal ( more nooks and crannies). I’ve been lazy after bringing my plants ( hoyas, Phils) in from outdoors and things are getting a little outta hand. These are the methods I will try first. Just a long winded FYI. Good luck on your pest mgmt. 😊
Thank you Debra! I've had lots of people point me to her channel so I'll be checking out her methods!
I’ve used Pon and perlite most of the time with success. Also moss with perlite mixed.
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do love a good back side myself!!
I also had mites that left knobby growth and had to throw away three favorite Hoya. I had this problem for probably at least a year before I understood what was causing it. It was awful! I've started over with more tiny plants. Thanks for the tips on spotting them.
Sorry you had to toss out some of your Hoya too. We will overcome!
Hi. I'm on a self inflicted 90 day no plant purchases ugh. But I do love my propogations. Just as much as propogation videos. This one gave me a good suggestion or two. Ok 3 good suggestions. Thank you 🌱❤️🌱❤️🌱❤️
Btw. Heart breaking w the mite issue. Thank you helping me be prepared. *Knock on wood*
Hello...I just started my hoya collection...I would love to see your hoya update on these cutti gs...happy growing❤
Great video. Pest infestations are definitely character building! Hopefully your luminous micromites are endemic to the Americas and can't survive cool temp locations in Australia. Re other video's - I'd love to see your current collection and wish list plants.
I use coco coir for props. Mostly because it transfers to both leca and soil, seamlessly.
Do you use a specific fertilizer for the hoyas
I hope soon I'll have my plant tube video too!A Healthy Hobby And Nice Having Friends All Over The World! 👍
I use whatever is closest to me whenever I’m propagating 😅 Which is usually sphagnum moss, Leca, or just water. Sometimes rooting hormone. Always have my bin (with ventilation holes) on a heating mat, under a grow light, which are both on a timer. Just have to make sure it doesn’t dry out. Also, those goofy looking glasses may be helpful with hand pollination 🙃
Yes they are handy for that!!!
Does anyone know if you can prop Hoya from leafless cuttings?
I have never tried soil, I usually use moss. But I’m about to chop up my Australis so I’ll try it this way. Thankd
Those magnifying specs tho! 😂😂
👀🤣
I had those mites this summer. They came in an albo. I did neem, alcohol, Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew and Bonide systemic. I finally got rid of them but it took months. Now I feel like I need to check all my hoya that were near it. I feel like my growth was slow this summer.
Can you explain how you did it? I just found them on my Hoya and my entire shelf is full of plants so I’m sure they are everywhere:(
What do you do with your plants when traveling? Water wise
Glad to see your face and that you are doing your best! I am glad the flashlight, dark room works to see these. I tell people that is easiest way to see regular spider mites. Didn't you used to use systemic? Did you stop, am I crazy or did these bad boys get by it? ♥
I did use a systemic but not many systemics work on mites 😬 I was using it for a thrips scare but honestly those died really quick and easy
I cut just above a node when a tendril bent and broke. However, the tendril that was left over from the cut has just gone brown and really hard. It looked like a leaf/new tendril was growing through but recently died. What do I do? 😢
love the nails.
hello from Italy! Trying my first Hoya propagation in water... hope to have a full plant soon...
Sending good vibes to you and your plant!
I got a cutting just shy of 6 months ago. It was in water for about 6 weeks before it was put into soil. It has rooted. It no new growth at all…. In almost 6 months. Any thoughts on why?
I'm loving propping my hoya (or aroids, anything in fact) in fern fibre which is readily available in NZ
Wow beautiful silver dollar! Is there a link to where you purchased it?
I also use a prop box but use a brick if coco coir that I hydrate and just stick the cuttings in. I usually put a small shot glass of water in to keep the humidity up. This has been fantastic and the cuttings can be transferred to leca, pon, soil or any other mixture easily. I get them at the dollar store so I have more to spend on Hoyas, lol.
Imagine my surprise pulling up YT and seeing Knot Dude first in my feed. ☺️ MADE MY DAY! Also… f@&% mites. 😒
Thanks
You could have used high concentration azadirachtin (the active compounds in neem oil) based products like AzaSol or AzaMax. They are really effective on mites.
Hi Adam! So good to see you! I love your videos and am hoping you can find time to do more. I didn't realize that you can get roots on the stems of hoyas, too. I don't think anyone has ever shown, or talked about that before. It's good to know. I hope you can get rid of those mites! Yuck! Can you just propagate hoya leaves with any success? I'm wondering because I just cut the last 3 vines off of my large hoya and had some nice leaves that I put in some damp sphagnum moss in a closed container. The rest of the plant just started dying, so I'm hoping to save the rest of it. I'll definitely subscribe to your new channel! It sounds like it will be fun. I'm glad you and Steve are able to do some fun traveling. I'm looking forward to your posts of your trips. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Sandy! You can root Hoya leaves and they will stay in good condition however it will rarely grow another vine unless there was some stem material in the cutting. If not, it will just stay a leaf.
@@KnotDude Hi Adam! Thank you, again, for your reply! I would prefer them to vine, so may just throw them away because there is no stem. They were the leaves I removed from the vines. I wish I would have known about leaving some stem on them, but I do now! Thank you!
Yay!! Good to “see” you again on YT!! Love your shirt! F those mites!! 😡 Sounds horrible every time I hear you talk about them.
I usually propagate in perlite, sometimes in water. Love that prop box though! Better size than the clear shoe box style I use….or the good ‘ol magic cookie jar. ☺️
I need to try perlite sometime but if it isn't broke.... :)
@@KnotDude true. True. Guess it’s just a way for me to not waste it because I don’t really like it in my soil mixes.
Hey Adam! Thank you for the vid. I have never propagated one of my hoyas and this was helpful! Just to be sure I'm understanding correctly, you are saying that I can cut anywhere along the stem to propagate (rather than finding a node, or in the case of some plants like string of hearts, having to cut off a couple leaves and stick the area the leaves were cut from in the soil)?
Yes that is correct. You will need a node with leaves for a successful prop but the node does not need to be in the potting media! Just the stem. Hoya are amazing :)
@@KnotDude wow, okay! That sounds so easy! Thank youuu 😊
I have a kentiana cutting in sphagnum moss and I don't know how long can I keep it there. Should I just go ahead and plant it and what medium do you recommend? Thanks.
A chunky soil mix if you like soil! If it's not showing a ton of roots just make sure you enclose it in something clear and give it bright light!
Adam, have you tried a jeweler's loupe for pest inspection? Hold your infested plant over a clean sheet of white printer paper. Tap the foliage as vigorously as necessary to dislodge the mites. You'll see specks. Now, use the loupe to get a close view. Also, try using the camera on your smart phone and enlarging the resulting photos. Lastly, and most fun, buy a kid's microscope set! Get your sample bugs and place them on a slide and you'll be floored at the detail! You can also look at the tiny details of flower and leaf tissue as well as everyday small objects that might amuse you. You can get a junior microscope on Amazon for $85 - $100 if so inclined. I got it for my kids in 2005. They got bored. I still take it out and play with it!
so pretty
Hair pins! That's genius!
💚❤️🪴❤️💚
Yay! I haven’t been this excited for a video in a while!
I recently switched all my props and boxes to this method. Totally gave you credit on Insta 😉 .The little cups make all the difference for taming those roots and you don’t have to transition from on media to another.
I found the cups (but white) and soldiering iron (they called it a heat knife) at Walmart. Also those bins are the Best! I’m wish I would have bought more before they sold out.
Sorry to hear about the mites. I think I’ve been dealing with them too. I thought they were red spider mites too but like you said -no webbing. I’m slowly getting it under control (I hope)1 room at a time.
Sending good mite killing vibes to you!
